Who:
Red Herring Spring 2006 will gather over 300 C-level entrepreneurs, corporate strategists, and venture financiers from the technology industry in the US and Canada.

The event is exclusively open to the CEOs and founders of public and private technology companies; chief strategy and business development executives from public companies; senior partners from venture capital firms, equity funds and investment banks; senior partners from consulting and advisory firms; and leading industry analysts, observers and journalists.
What:
The market's rediscovered appreciation of young, innovative and agile companies proves not just that the pursuit of disruption is back, but that it is the new fast-track to success. Red Herring Spring will explore and demonstrate the drivers for disruption through companies' maturity stages and sector idiosyncrasies.
Some of the general questions to be addressed are: What makes technology ventures successful in 2006? How does one identify and nurture their capabilities? And who are today's champions of bringing innovation to market?
